The intention with this podcast is to platform people who perhaps haven't been part of the discourse around masculinity and sexuality in the mainstream, spiritual, Tantra and sacred sexuality communities. From sex workers, male strippers, and relationship coaches to psychosexual therapists, transgender educators and indigenous men. "Men, Sex, and Pleasure" is a podcast discussing all things masculinity, sexuality, male bodies and men's experience of pleasure.
